Through a semiotic analysis of two websites and a sociological survey by questionnaire and interviews, the study will show the way this diasporic population uses digital devices to imagine new practices of their Catholic faith in a situation of geographic dispersion.

It highlights a particular Catholicism of overseas Vietnamese characterized by a transnational dimension and an integration of online and offline faith practices.

This novel reality poses challenges as well as opening up new perspectives for the Roman Catholic Church in the digital age, now confronted with tensions between long-standing “solid” traditions and contemporary “liquid” connections.
